Produktbeschreibung
A mutiny at sea, a decades-long legal battle--To the Brink is the real-life revolutionary epic you didn't learn in school. To the Brink tells the true and riveting story of Gideon Olmsted, a Connecticut sea captain whose boldness and persistence made him a thorn in the side of both the British Crown and the young American government. Captured by the British during the American Revolution, Olmsted didn't just endure imprisonment--he masterminded a dramatic mutiny to reclaim the ship and chart his own course to freedom. But his greatest battle came not on the high seas, but in the courtroom, where a decades-long legal struggle challenged the very definition of American sovereignty. With the pulse-pounding pace of an adventure novel and the depth of meticulously researched history, To the Brink brings to life the harrowing voyages, fierce loyalties, and foundational conflicts that shaped the early American Republic. A story of resilience, rebellion, and the birth of a nation, this is history as you've never read it before.
Autorenporträt
John and Nancy live in the small town of Lake Havasu City in northwestern Arizona. John is an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in spinal surgery. When he isn't working, John's interests include a lifetime love of flying. If not flying, John can be found reading or fly fishing on a quiet creek in Colorado. Nancy loves outdoor activities of all kinds. After completing J.D./Ph.D. degrees and admission to the Colorado Bar, Nancy worked first in special education law at the state level and later in higher education at the University of Colorado. This book is the second of their collaborative writing efforts. In 2020, Little Creek Press published their first historical narrative, An Ingenious Excuse: The True Story of Patrick Lyon and the First Great American Bank Robbery.
